九、完形填空
The secret to a successful sequel (续集)—a secret
Keeping the entire cast and crew of film a secret is hard. But when it’s a massive movie like Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, with some 700 people and 1,000 costurnes—including 400 coats alone—it’s next to ____44____. All precautions are taken: characters are given code names, the smallest details are protected by nondisclosure agreements, and digital scripts are encoded and deleted after a certain amount of time in case of being copied and spread. It’s not quite magic, but it’s close.
The pressure to not reveal anything—even ____45____—is enough to give Eddic Redmayne a difficult time. “I’ve been sent this funny document which is furnished with double-caps, triple-underlined notes saying, YOU CAN’T TALK ABOUT THIS,” says the Oscar winner, who returns as wizard Newt Scamander in the sequel, which continues the story of the earlier reputation. Does he ever tell anyone? He leans in and admits, a little ____46____, that he does: his wife, Hannah Bagshawe.
How have they successfully kept it a secret? It certainly helps that J. K. Rowling, the writer of the work, is the ____47____ of keeping secrets. She famously claims to have known crucial plot points from her best-selling book series’ endgame years in advance. Also, Johnny Depp’s debatable appearance in the movie—the actor has been accused of domestic violence by his ex-wife Amber Heard—as the dark wizard Grindelwald was kept under wraps until just two weeks before the first film came out in 2016.
Bearing this commitment to secrecy in mind, it’s no surprise that Rowling has revcaled the details to few people about how the remaining three movies in the proposed five-part series will playout. Even producer Tim Lewis, who has worked on eight Harry Potter installments, is ____48____. “We haven’t seen scripts for the next one,” says. “I am assuming Rowling knows the whole plan, but I couldn’t say.”
The earnings are high enough: the first Fantastic Beasts movie reached $814 million. That’s a number most studios would dream about, but when it comes to Harry Potter, expectations start sky-high. In a world filled with universes based on existing intellectual property-Star Wars, Marvel-appreciation fatigue is always possible. But for now, the extreme enthusiasm shows no sign of ____49____: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, a play based on an idea by Rowling, is a critical and commercial smash. For the Beasts sequel, analysts are already predicting an opening weekend of $65 million to $75 million.
44．A．useless B．impossible C．successful D．critical
45．A．in control B．by accident C．for reference D．in case
46．A．sadly B．proudly C．angrily D．shyly
47．A．suspect B．counsellor C．master D．pioneer
48．A．in the dark B．in the clear C．on the air D．on the scene
49．A．speeding up B．giving off C．turning around D．dying down

十一、阅读回答问题
I was very nervous as I waited to interview one of the most successful women of our times: Kathy Howe. I was just a young reporter and she was not only a popular singer but also a famous actress, staring in many movies.
As soon as the door opened, however, and her slim figure appeared, I immediately relaxed. She looked great, with her kind brown eyes, her excellent black hair, and her beautiful smile. I looked for bags under her eyes, but there were none. “How do you manage to look so good and live life in the fast lane at the same time?” I asked her.
She laughed, and her whole face shone. “It’s tiring to be famous. You have to work hard, be on time, and take care of yourself. Also, you have to go to Hollywood parties, be taken photos for magazines, and give interviews!”
As we talked, I found out that Kathy is a very warm and kind person, and that her family is more important to her than being a star. At the same time, she wants to do everything as well as she can, so she can sometimes seem to be hard.
When I asked her if she thought of herself as lucky, she didn’t answer immediately. Then she said. “Well, perhaps I’m lucky, but I also work very hard, and being famous has weak points, too. In fact, I’ve missed out on lots of things I really enjoy doing, like spending time with my daughter.”
I felt sad when it was time to leave, as Kathy is a wonderful woman. I have never met anyone else who has such a life, and still manages to look so beautiful.
57．How did the writer feel before the interview began?
_________________________________________________________
58．What did Kathy Howe look like when she entered?
_________________________________________________________
59．Kathy Howe thinks being famous is tiring, doesn’t she?
_________________________________________________________
60．What does Kathy Howe think of her family?
_________________________________________________________
61．Does Kathy Howe have much time to spend with her daughter?
_________________________________________________________

【导语】本文作者Cindy讲述了自己即将帮助妈妈的朋友看孩子的事情。
22．句意：夏天我要负责照顾几个小孩！be responsible for“负责……”，这里指负责照顾孩子。故选D。
23．句意：听起来巴布夫人想把她的孩子们放在托儿所度过夏天。根据“I happened to hear my mum talking to her friend, Mrs Barb.”可知，谈话内容听起来像是要把孩子放托儿所，sound like“听起来像”。故选F。
24．句意：我飞快地从座位上奔出来，开始在妈妈面前挥舞手臂，最后她问我想干什么。根据“…my arms in front of my mum’s face”可知，是在妈妈面前挥动手臂，wave“挥舞”，start doing sth“开始做某事”。故选B。

28．safety
【详解】句意：每个人都应该遵守安全规则，永远不要违反。rules为名词，其前可用safe的名词safety作定语，构成名词短语the safety rules表示“安全规则”。故填safety。
29．natural
【详解】句意：树木是自然空调机，所以我们必须保护它们不被砍伐。根据空后air conditioners“空调机”可知，空处用形容词修饰名词，nature“自然”是名词，变形为形容词natural“自然的”。故填natural。
30．further
【详解】句意：每年有许多学生去国外继续深入学习。根据“going abroad”可知后接动词不定式作目的状语，空格处应填入动词原形，结合语境可知，学生们去国外是去深入学习，因此应用动词further表示“促进，增进”。故填further。
31．leaders
【详解】句意：上海在经济和文化上是最重要的领先者之一。lead“领导”，是动词，leader“领先者”，是名词，有形容词important修饰，用名词，one of the+形容词的最高级+复数名词，表示“最……的……之一”，故填leaders。
32．suggested /suggests
【详解】句意：乔伊斯建议，我们应该再考虑一下报纸的名字。suggestion“建议”，是名词，此处作谓语，用动词，可以用一般现在时或一般过去时，主语Joyce是第三人称单数形式，谓语用第三人称单数形式，故填suggested/suggests。
33． didn’t let
【详解】句意：最终Tom让他的哥哥代替他去了音乐会。根据“at last”是一个过去的时间状语，主句应该是一般过去时。及“let”在主语“Tom”后是原形，可知也应该推测出是一般过去时。原句中动词是let，可知是个谓语动词。所以该句子的否定句由“didn’t+动词原形”构成，故填didn’t ；let。
34． hasn’t she
【详解】句意：爱丽丝去法国深造了。反意疑问句由“陈述句+疑问尾句”两部分组成，第一部分提出看法，第二部分用来质疑或表示证实。前肯定，后否定；前否定，后肯定。此题的前半部分是肯定的，因此后半部分用否定的，前面的has是助动词，因此后半部分用否定的hasn’t。前面的主语Alice是女性，因此疑问部分的主语用she。故填hasn’t；she。
35． How often
【详解】句意：我们应该每月发表论文。句中画线部分“monthly”表示频率，应用how often提问，意为“多久一次”，故填How often。
36． How long
【详解】句意：自从她来这里我就认识她了。划线部分是since引导的时间状语从句，表示“自……以来”，疑问句用how long提问，句首首字母h需要大写。故填How；long。
37． too little
【详解】句意：我们没有足够的番茄酱炸大虾。根据“have got”意思是有，所以空缺处为“少的”含义，“too little”表示少，与原句中“haven’t got enough”含义相同。故填too；little。
38．The local farmer talked about UFOs with us last night
【详解】根据所给标点可知应用陈述句形式，分析所给单词，the local farmer作主语，talked about UFOs with us作谓语部分，last night作时间状语，位于句末。故填The local farmer talked about UFOs with us last night“当地农民昨晚和我们谈论了不明飞行物”。
39．A 40．B 41．D 42．A 43．B

【导语】本文讲了学校将在学校体育馆举行音乐节。详细地介绍了一些招聘志愿者的信息。

40．词义猜测题。根据“artists and musicians”（艺术家和音乐家）可知结合选项，应说此次特别活动将邀请许多获得众多国际奖项的杰出艺术家和音乐家。所以“eminent”意为”著名的”。故选B。
41．细节理解题。根据“On June 29, from 8 a.m.to 5 p.m., our school will be holding a music festival in the school gym.”（6月29日上午8点至下午5点，我们学校将在学校体育馆举行音乐节。）“June 28: Decorate the gym”（6月28日装饰体育馆）可知应该在节日前装饰体育馆。故选D。
42．细节理解题。根据“Students who would like to help at the festival must get written permission from your parents.”（想在节日上帮忙的学生必须得到父母的书面许可。）可知如果你想成为一名志愿者，你的父母必须给你写一份许可。故选A。
43．推理判断题。根据“Are you looking for something fun and want to help others in your spare time? Then join us to be a volunteer!”（你是否在寻找有趣的事情，并想在业余时间帮助别人那就加入我们成为一名志愿者吧！）可知海报的主要目的是寻找一些志愿者。故选B。
44．B 45．B 46．D 47．D 48．A 49．D

【导语】本文主要讲述了续集成功的秘诀，为了对一部电影保密采取了哪些预防措施等。
44．句意：《格林德沃之罪》有约700人，1000套戏服——仅400件外套——这几乎是不可能的。
useless无用的；impossible不可能的；successful成功的；critical挑剔的。根据“Keeping the entire cast and crew of film a secret is hard.”和“The Crimes of Grindelwald, with some 700 people and 1,000 costurnes—including 400 coats alone”可知，对整个剧组的演员和工作人员保密是很困难的，尤其是这样的大剧组，人员和服装众多，所以保密几乎是不可能的。故选B。
45．句意：不要透露任何事情——即使是偶然——的压力足以让埃迪克·雷德梅尼度过一段艰难的时光。
in control管理；by accident偶然；for reference以供参考；in case以防万一。根据“The pressure to not reveal anything—even...—is enough to give Eddic Redmayne a difficult time.”可知，保密已经很难了，甚至偶然的也不行，故选B。
46．句意：他倾身，略带羞涩地承认，他确实这么做了：他的妻子汉娜·巴格肖。
sadly悲伤地；proudly骄傲地；angrily生气地；shyly害羞地。根据“YOU CAN’T TALK ABOUT THIS”和“He leans in and admits, a little..., that he does: his wife, Hannah Bagshawe.”可知，前文说不可以告诉任何人，所以当他承认告诉自己妻子时应该会害羞。故选D。
47．句意：这本书的作者J. K. Rowling是保守秘密的带头人，这当然有所帮助。
suspect嫌疑犯；counsellor顾问；master主人，能手；pioneer先驱，带头人。根据“It certainly helps that J. K. Rowling, the writer of the work, is the...of keeping secrets.”可知，J. K. Rowling是作者，所以更应该保守秘密，是保守秘密的带头人，故选D。
48．句意：甚至连制作了八部《哈利·波特》系列电影的制片人蒂姆·刘易斯也不知道。
